While we understand this may not be realistic for everyone, our hope is that one day everyone will find a safe place free from diet talk, or comments on weight.  If you do hear someone engagingI diet or weight talk, try saying in response; “but isn’t the food so delicious and look at effort so and so went to…” or “we’re so fortunate to be able to have this food…”

Wishing everyone a lovely end of the year!! 🧡💜🩷

The idea that we don’t need to lose weight for health, that people can be healthy at a higher weight, or that being “overweight” dosen’t cause disease, are topics I regularly discuss with clients.   Most often people are very surpised by this, afterall “everyone knows that being fat is bad for your health” is a belief that is so commonplace that no challenges it. At least not until they are presented with the possibility this belief is fundamentally wrong.

Ragen Chastain (reseracher, writer, health professional) has done, and continues to do, brilliant work in this feild.   If you are curious to learn more about how the world has reached the point where weight loss advice reigns despite the fact reserach from the last ~100 years shows that almost everyone regains weight after trying to lose it, have a listen!

Once upon a time, people needed convincing that the world was actually round, we got there with that, so perhaps we can get there with the fact that focusing on weight is not only NOT necessary for health improvements, but that it actually can cause harm.

If you have ever lost weight only to regain it (perhaps many times), then perhaps this resonates and perhaps understanding more about this will help you start to heal your relationship with food and body. Then you can really start to take care of your health.

After hearing this sentiment twice today, I thought I’d share it…

Unless you have a food allergy, or specific medical condition that precludes certain food (one where the food causes immediate danger to health), there is no one type of food that will endanger your health. Equally, there is no one food that if eaten regularly, will guarantee your health.

Our culture has become too extreme and too black and white when it comes to food and health. The extremism is causing more harm than good. Too many people now fear food, or are overly anxious or preoccupied with what they eat. This takes away from the pleasure of sharing food with others, especially at this time of year when sharing food with friends and family is a key part of what we do as humans. It can also start to adversely affect nutrition through leading to disordered relationships with food,

A favourite quote of mine is “When the joy goes out of eating, nutrition suffers”.

So enjoy that mince tart, enjoy that Christmas pudding or whatever your favourite Christmas food is - enjoy!

Healthism (where health is seen as a moral duty and individuals are seen as being able to control this through diet, exercise and lifestyle) appears to have reached a whole new level with the concept of “biohacking” - a form of lifestyle self-improvement.

The whole concept is very elitist and no doubt the propagators already have “the right” genetics and enough wealth on their side. So much so, they don’t actually need it - oh the irony!

It seems humans will always be looking for the “magic pill” or “holy grail” to health, and when there’s lots’s of money to be made, there will be people selling the solution.

But you can choose to opt out, you can choose to be at peace with what you have.

But there is privilege in being able to do this; first you need to have your basic needs met. In addition, being at peace with what we have is also easier when the world is not judging you for your size or appearance. But no amount of “biohacking” is going to change this judgement, if anything, it just makes life easier for those who already have it fairly easy,and harder for those already struggling with judgement.

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, as so many people have told me they benefit from hearing this - it allows them to eat a nourishing lunch without a side of guilt/shame.

Because diet culture and the “wellness industry” is allowed to say whatever they want with little regulation, we have reached a point where educated and intelligent people now truly believe a toasted cheese sandwich is unhealthy.

I am constantly surprising my clients when I explain that a toasted cheese sandwich can be a perfectly nutritious meal.

In fact, if all you ate for an entire day was toasted cheese sandwiches (even using white bread), you’d get most of your macronutrients and micronutrients; not quite meeting requirements for Vitamin C, Vitamin B2 & 6, Magnesium, Iron and dietary fibre. Make the sandwich with a yummy dense grainy bread and then you’re only low in Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. Throw in half an orange and you have your vitamin C needs for the day…

Clearly I’m not suggesting people only eat cheese toasties, that would become incredibly boring and you’d get sick of them fairly quickly! So in the context of eating other food, the missing nutrients are absolutely NOT as issue.

Another awesome thing about cheese toasties is all the different things you can add or different types of cheese you can use. I love adding red onion (or garlic) and chilli.

Tell us your favourite addition to the humble cheese toastie.

One of my clients was telling me how her dad, who had always been super fit and in a straight sized body, has been struggling with high cholesterol and heart issue and now requires major surgery. No one has ever blamed his weight, they have seen it as a case of genetics.

But when a person in a larger body has heart issues, most often their weight is seen as the reason. Even if that person eats well and exercises regularly, our weight centric medical model scratches its head and says “well it must be the weight”.

As long as the world keeps seeing body size or weight as a problem to be fixed, be that health or to feel better within one’s self, many people will continue to view weight loss as more important than sustainable behaviour change. And even when the behaviours required to lose weight are not healthy or sustainable, any weight loss will still be seen as “success”.

I am not saying it’s wrong to want to lose weight, and given the world we live in, I completely understand the desire, it’s deep rooted and complex. One small step is changing how we talk about weight and health. This is happening in the size inclusive/weight neural health space.

Just because someone is bigger, doesn’t mean they eat a lot. Many of our clients when they come to us, are already eating fairly well, often they are not eating large amounts and sometimes they are eating less than what might considered adequate.

We simply can’t judge what or how much a person eats based on their size.

And one can enjoy donuts and soft drinks as part of a healthy balanced diet and lifestyle. Eating a donut or enjoying a soft drink is not inherently unhealthy.

After hearing this story yesterday, I thought I’d do my bit to help correct the perception many people have of dietitians.

It’s sad we dietitians are often seen as the food police - WE’RE NOT!! Well at least not all of us… ☺️

Fortunately there are many health practitioners who do ask, so this is to help get the message out to more people (or those who don’t).

Please share this with anyone you think it would resonate with, or who would appreciate reading it.

As they say, “assumptions are the mother of all…”

In working with many people on GLP-1s I am please to say most of our clients still want to feel hunger and they still want to enjoy food. Most of these people also recognise the importance of feeling hungry and the necessity of enjoyment of food for a full life to be lived.

I have even seen some people choose to stop the medication when they stop feeling an hunger, or they lose the joy in food or find they have little motivation to eat.

Our clients find it’s useful to hear that these medications affect people differently, some see a big reduction in appetite on a low dose and some still have a good appetite at higher doses. Weight loss also varies greatly from person to person and going up and up in doses doesn’t necessarily change this. Like with many things in life, what “works” for one person might not work for another.

We are taking new clients and would love to hear from you. See profile for contact.
